Soft Fine Dream

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The air was soft,

the stars so fine,

the promise of

every cobbled alley

so great that I thought

I was in a dream.

  Jack Kerouac

Feast the heart

with what it craves, 

short of cruelty, 

and let the

world wonder.

   Reynolds Price 

Sit in reverie, and

watch the changing

color of the waves

that break upon the

idle seashore of the mind

   Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

He does not need opium.

He has the gift of reverie.

   Anais Nin

Knowing that the

other person is angry,

one who remains

mindful and calm

acts for his own best

interest and for the

other's interest, too.

    Buddha

People say that work kills,

for me work kept me alive,

I kept working until

I was 108. People should

help each other and

love each other

instead of hating.

If we shared all that,

things would be a lot better. 118-year old French nun

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Morning Honolulu Moon

The day, water, sun, 

moon, night - I do not 

have to purchase these 

things with money. 

      Plautus

We are all looking for something 

of extraordinary importance 

whose nature 

we have forgotten. 

     Ionesco

If you don't think 

every day is a good day, 

just try missing one.

Dream This Dream

A  L  O  H  A !

Fences cannot 

keep out 

the color 

or sunshine

Light passing through,

illuminating other things,

always entrances me

“ Dream delivers us to dream,

 and there is no end to illusion. 

" Life is like a train of moods like

a string of beads, 

and, as we pass through them, 

they prove to be -

many-colored lenses which

paint the world 

their own hue. . . . ”


 Ralph Waldo Emerson

“ All that we see

 or seem 

is but a dream 

within a dream. ” 


Edgar Allan Poe

 " Representation of the world,

is the work of men; 

they describe it

which they confuse 

with the 

absolute truth.  "

 " As I get older,

 I get smaller.

 I see other parts 

of the world

 I didn't see before. 

Other points of view. 

I see outside myself

It was late,

the house was quiet.

Looking into a cooking pot

[ yes, it is a stainless steel pot ]

I saw the rainbow,

worlds in worlds,

and wondered

if

my camera could

show You

what I glimpsed.

Yes,

it is a pot.

Thank YOU

for looking in.

Even the briefest "hello"

is another Gift !

Is Your Moon Lazy?

A  L  O  H  A !

Evening brings love,

Night brings rest

 ‘De Halve Maan’ (The Half Moon) Brewery, Bruges since 1856 

It also welcomes the Moon

 in every guise

 I am prone before you.

 Pity me, 

and drench me in

 loneliness. "

“In the crook of the crescent moon 

sits the Holy Lady,

 with strong muscles and a merciful heart.

 She kicks her splendid legs 

like the moon is her swing 

and the sky, her front porch.” 

 Rebecca Wells

Divine Secrets of the YA-YA Sisterhood

So Why is the moon 

that I'm shooting

 laying back,

while the classic crescent moon 

depicted in Europe

is vertical?

Our blog friend, Reader Wil

Here

explains that

the closer you get

to the equator

the more horizontal

the moon reposes.

Who Knew? !

I must have noticed this

when I moved to Hawaii

a quarter century ago

but never realized this fact

until now!

How often, 

I wonder,

do

things and people

we see every day

carry wonders

that

we never notice?
